In the "desperate attempt to find a silver lining" department - we will now get a chance to see what Collins really is. At the begining of the season he was the "great leap forward" kid. More recently he has regressed to "Leonard grade loooong term project." If he rises to the challenge, we have something special!
If not? Dress him up as Santa Claus and throw him off the Fremont bridge while the unicycle bagpipe guy plays "Amazing Grace." At least get a few Youtube hits out of him!
